For decades, the Hönle Business Unit Curing has been a trusted partner of the printing industry, with their customized curing and drying systems used worldwide in a wide variety of printing machines. At the Hunkeler Innovationdays, the focus of their exhibition will be on combined IR/hot air modules designed for drying water-based inkjet inks. The highlight of these systems: the hot air not only enhances the drying process through powerful removal of moisture but also cools the IR lamp, thus significantly extending its lifespan. Both drying components can be controlled independently.
Developing this IR/hot air module the developers also prioritized user-friendliness: Thanks to its space-saving design, the module can be easily integrated into printing machines. Moreover, the IR/hot air dryer can be quickly and easily removed from the machine due to its unique cassette technology – for instance, for the rare lamp replacement or to make room for an optional UV module, depending on the application’s requirements.
Hönle will also present a selection of its pioneering LED-UV curing devices for digital printing.
